A 30 pack of Flaming Hot Cheetos cost $10.82 at
Costco. A 50 pack of Flaming Hot Cheetos cost
$17.25.

a) Which is the better buy? (You are trying to
compare the cost of a 30 pack and 50 pack of
chips. This is not possible without finding
the unit rate.)

b) What is the difference between the unit
prices? (You need to use the information
from part a to answer this question.)​

Answer:

50 pack

[tex]\$0.01[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of packs at Costco = 30

Cost of 30 packs at Costco = $10.82

Number of packs at the other place = 50

Cost of 50 packs = $17.25

Cost of one pack when 30 packs are bought

[tex]\dfrac{10.82}{30}=\$0.36[/tex]

Cost of one pack when 50 packs are bought

[tex]\dfrac{17.25}{50}=\$0.35[/tex]

It is better to buy the 50 pack.

Difference in the unit prices = [tex]0.36-0.35=\$0.01[/tex].
